A blog intended for, and often written by, my middle school students, as well as anyone interested in the fascinating potential of 3D printing and the process of getting there. Since our blog's start in 2013, we've expanded our content a bit to incorporate our other middle school making. Click the "Our BPC Story" blog label to learn more about our Maker Club journey.

These printers have not yet been declared medically safe, but they are an exciting development in medical 3D printing.
